What is a “bible believing Christian”?

@kellyjay said
You are not talking about that. Instead, you are changing the topic to color and
the possibility of racism playing a part, not the same.

The systematic racism underpinning the death penalty in your country makes a mockery of your ideological sense of "righteousness". You are talking about the death penalty, right? And you are arguing that it is part of "righteousness", right?

I'm talking about the comparison between someone convicted of a crime and a
unborn child, you are not.

You are claiming that the state putting people to death is "righteousness".

I'm saying that God has given us law, He has His laws, and we write ours. If we put
together a law that isn't righteous, or if the application of those laws is not made in
righteousness that doesn't void that obeying law should be done, neither does the
law become meaningless because of lawbreakers, if a criminal breaks them if law
enforcement breaks them, or even if the ones who write laws are themselves
lawless. You want to live in a lawless society that is up to you, but this again is not
the topic, and its the last time I'm responding to you on this.

Why would you think people being sentenced to death in your country was an example of "righteousness"?

I "want to live in a lawless society"? What strawman tripe is this now?

They are both god’s creation and deserving of a chance of repentance.

If under your personal opinion of abortion and death penalty… i was given a choice between being an aborted foetus or a death row inmate I would choose to be the aborted foetus.

Becuase the aborted foetus would go straight to eternal bliss and the death row inmate straight to eternal suffering.

I agree and only one of the two has made choices, some that they could be proud of, and others that requires grace to be forgiven for, or they die in their sins.

Are you suggesting it is okay to kill a fetus because you know it’s future?

All have sinned and all get a chance to repent.

Except those on death row who you would send straight to hell and deny them and Jesus Christ the potential of their salvation.

It is not right to deny Christ those whom are his KellyJay.

Not sure where you get off, suggesting anyone is being denied the opportunity to
get right with God if they are sentenced to death and put to death. The only guy
we know that joined Jesus in paradise was in the middle of being put to death due
to crimes he did; that thief was in the very process of being killed. Now is the
accepted time for salvation, not years from now; when we stand before God, it will
be for the time here; none of us is guaranteed tomorrow.

I get slated in here because I take what I feel is an eclectic view of biblical scripture.

No, I don't think that's the reason.

Difficult to repent when you’ve been executed.

And all the days before that time, there were no possibilities, no opportunities to
turn to the Lord. You realize it is God who calls us, right? We either accept or reject
Him; it isn't like we get to put Him off till we feel like it.
